Was looking for something to replace an old VCR in the rec room. Easy hook-up but need to play around with the resolutions to get the best picture when playing a VHS - especially any old tapes (before THX).
Once you figure out the resolution - excellent picture, much better than the old 4-head hifi's.
Easy transition from tape to DVD, loading time is moderate. Sound is okay, but it is hooked up to an old Bose 3-2-1; no optical input. Might be better if connected to better sound system.
